While some public officials would have you think Syrian refugees are a national threat, the mayor of Dallas couldn’t disagree more.
Saturday, Mayor Mike Rawlings told MSNBC that the United States should welcome refugees and also admitted there are bigger homegrown threats to be worried about.
“I am more fearful of large gatherings of white men that come into schools, theaters and shoot people up, but we don’t isolate young white men on this issue,†Rawlings said responding to questions about the threat of terrorists sneaking into the country through refugee programs....

Yes and they say the same sort of thing about the mayors in Houston. Austin and ? Texas is beginning to sound like New York or Californicate??!
I think that most of the folks that could moved to the suburbs.
There's never been a large gathering of white men who did something like that. The times it has happened, it's been one lone nut, and once, two. And none of them has been on record as representing the same point of view as any of the others.
Now if routinely, groups of white men did this, and they all claimed to be doing it for the same reason, he'd have a point. But so far that has never happened in the US. Closest thing I can think of is the IRA.
So he might want to get a little nervous if a bunch of THEM show up. But otherwise, this was just a silly statement. Cripes, you get a group of white conservatives together, and when they leave, there won't even be litter left behind.
I have to agree with him; just the other day a crowd of white men turned me into a newt!
Sorry. That is, statistically, faulty logic on your part. No lectures on efficiency please.
“large gatherings of white men that come into schools, theaters and shoot people up”
The largest gathering of that kind that I remember was 2 people, in the Columbine shooting, 20 years ago.
And if you still believe that an ANFO explosive inside a Ryder van took down the Murrah Federal Building - which was hardened to withstand such attacks, you need to do a little more research. I would invite you to look up BG Ben Partin, formerly Director of the U.S. Air Force Armaments Technology Laboratory, considered by many to be the “father of smart weapons technology”
General Partin offered the services of ATL in determining the cause of the bombing and the reason for such extensive damage to the building. His offer was initially approved by the Pentagon and then withdrawn. While prevented from accessing the site and against orders, General Partin visited Oklahoma City with a team that took high-resolution photos and videos of the removal of rubble from the building. After delivering a very comprehensive and technically detailed report to Congress, General Partin was “asked” to retire. I would start here:

http://physics911.net/generalpartinreport/ (detailed technical analysis)
The fact that Oklahoma City had one of the highest populations of expatriate Iraqis in the country was irrelevant. Likewise, the fact that Clinton was running for re-election and didn’t want to have to deal with a terrorist attack on US soil was equally irrelevant. And then consider that, for at least a few days, the FBI was looking for Timothy McVeigh and a “John Doe #2”, a Middle Eastern male and associate of McVeigh’s later determined to be Hussein al Husseini - an Iraqi. The FBI interviewed hundreds of people who claimed that they had seen McVeigh with al-Husseini on multiple occasions. The fact that al Husseini was working for Sky Chef at Logan International Airport (Boston) on Sept. 11, 2001, is a mere coincidence.
Jayna Davis, in her book, “The Third Terrorist”, outlines the Bureau’s search for John Doe #2. Davis was a reporter for KFOR TV, an NBC affiliate, in Oklahoma City at the time of the bombing. Here are a few references that’ll whet your appetite if you’re so inclined:

He’s afraid of white male voters, who want him out of office.
There. I fixed it.
And those were (once again) anti-christian with an agenda to kill followers of Christ. Color doesn’t matter, it seems ideology does, but these progressive sweep it aside-—ON PURPOSE!
Doesn’t he live in a 99% white folks neighborhood?
TRANSLATION: I don’t like “whitey” because they will not vote for me.
“What the hell is wrong with the people in Texas anyway...?”
The same as elsewhere - the larger cities attract hordes of disaffected minorities that vote for Santa Claus.
No place is perfect. You reside where? I know for a fact that I live in a mostly conservative county far from Dallas.
yes i never imagined anywhere was perfect, you are correct
it is just that we hear so often about how much better TX is than other states
that we get misled into believing that TX maybe doesn’t have any genuine wacko idiot politicians,
I guess that’s just an unrealistic hope for ANYWHERE,
thanks
WOW, what a little bitch.
People say that when they advance conspiracy theories, but is it really true?
Oklahoma City isn't one of the top ten cities for Iraq-born residents, and Oklahoma isn't among the top ten states.
Politicians would say stupid things, but at least they'd be original or homegrown or wacky.
Now they're just repeating stupid stuff somebody else said.
